Additional House Lots: Collaborating with the Guyana Lands and Survey Commission and the Ministry of Housing and Water, the government has finalized plans to add 500 new house lots for citizens on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway. This step addresses housing needs and supports community development.
Land Leases and Titles: Within the next two weeks, a major program is set to unfold, issuing hundreds of new leases and land titles to residents on the Soesdyke-Linden Highway.
